Playing Germany’s Slot Game

Slot reservation procedures will be in place at about 20 German airports during the World Cup soccer tournament, scheduled from June 9 to July 9. The games are being hosted in Berlin, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Leipzig, Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Kaiserslautern and are expected to draw a significant number of corporate aircraft to airports in these cities. Business aircraft crews should apply for slots as early as possible, and they should indicate the purpose of their trip by using the service type code “O”.
